Is this liberation? ((sorry folks, i'm angry again))
Dear Mr. Bush,

Is this how your liberate Iraq?

Ali Ismaeel Abbas, 12, was fast asleep when war shattered his life.



A missile obliterated his home and most of his family, leaving him orphaned, badly burned - and blowing off both his arms.

With tears running down his face he asked: "Can you help get my arms back? Do you think the doctors can get me another pair of hands? If I don't get a pair of hands I will commit suicide.

"Our house was just a poor shack. Why did they want to bomb us?"

- The Mirror, April 8, 2003

May you never forget the people you killed and the lives you destroyed.

2. He doesn't care enough even to forget....
to him this is just "collateral" damage to get to the spoils of war, in this case, oil.

4. it was at
this press conference in london in early august where little ali thanked the british and kuwaiti governments for their "support" in helping him recover. the u.s. was kind enough to give ali a U.S. army hat as a souvenir, which he was wearing when leaving for london.
